How does this work out using the different K-bits that are available and mostly used?

Thanx

What does this have to do with Soundforge?

I had the same question as Vocalpoint too.

Lanco, it's simple math. For a 700MB CD, and say a 192 kbs MP3 is about 4-5MB each, a CD can fit about 150.

What does this have to do with SF? I possibly want to use SF going in the direction of my questions. Why do you suppose I would be asking these questions here? I am figuring that there is someone out there that is either using SF for the questions I am posting, or at least if they know the answer they are is kind enough to give me a courteous answer if they just happen to know the answer.

OK?

Isn't that why this forum is here?

Thanx for your clear answer tivosux.

Am I correct in assuming that as in midi files that the time lenght of a song cannot be generalized by how many, in this case MB's it is?

In other words, say I have one song that is 8082 KB and the actual song plays for 4:56. Am I right in assuming just because one song lasts for 4:56 that it doesn't mean that it will always be 8082KB? That it would depend on, how do I say this, how dense the music is? Like maybe there is more notes being played and let's say a difference in volume?

I hope you catch my drift.

Best
Scott
